With only 60 shopping days
(including Sundays) left until Christmas I thought it was about time to try and
arrange something for our Christmas event.In the past we have been bowling and attended a murder mystery evening,
both of which everyone enjoyed.Not
being able to decide which to do this year it was decided to do bowling and a
murder mystery evening.

Therefore our Pre-Christmas
Party will be held at Ozzell Bowl on Friday 12th December.Bowling at 7.30pm, eating at 8.45pm
followed by another game afterwards.The cost is £12 per head, and there are just a few places left.So if you would like to join us please
ring me by the evening of Friday 17th as this is when I have to confirm numbers
by.

Our Post Christmas Party
(murder mystery) will be held in January 2004.No exact date yet but it will be held at
Carminnow Barn again.If you may
interested in this please let me know as a guide to numbers.

Shepton Mallett

This is to be held on Sunday
14th December at…………Yes, Shepton Mallett.

Rumour has it that we have been
offered a stand.Depending on
whether we have to pay or not decides on whether we have one.Assuming that we do have a stand and we
have never attempted a real one before does anyone have any ideas for a theme or
better still know what is needed and what works best.

The show normally costs around
£6 entrance fee, but it does exhibit lots of worthwhile trade
stands.

In the past we have met ready
to leave for 8.00am
at Bodmin and then met up with Devon Members at Cullmpton for breakfast.As this works, why fix something that
isn’t broken, the same will happen this year.

Quiz Evening

This takes place on TUESDAY
4TH NOVEMBER AT 8.00PM.It is being held at The Victoria inn Roche in
the conservatory.(Thanks
Nick)There will not be a meeting
for this month.

The evening will be split into
two.The first Ĺ hour being for our
usual meeting and then launching into the Quiz.With the questions being set by Andrew C
and Chris T it promises to be very entertaining.

It will cost £1 per person to
enter and teams consist of 2 people per team.Prizes will be in the form of trophies
(no wooden spoons).

Other trophies will be
presented on this evening to various people for all sorts of reasons connected
with things that have happened this year.If anyone can think of someone who deserves an award for something
connect with Bumpstart let me know so the appropriate can be
ordered.

Last meeting

A chance phone call earlier in
the in the day resulted in another new member braving her first meeting, (Hello
ZoŽ).Notes were handed out about
the Quiz and the venue, this may be our new venue, so let me have some feedback
after the quiz as to its suitability.

I read out some emails from a
bone of contention of mine and I asked for help with this. This resulted in more
than a few fibs being told, (all of which were swallowed) the results of which I
will fill you in about at the next meeting.Although I must admit it nearly
backfired on me.

Next meeting

There is no meeting in
November.Quiz night
instead.

Decembers
Meeting

There isn’t a December meeting
either, because of most venues Christmas commitments.Bowling and Shepton Mallet
instead.

The next Meeting after
that.

Watch this space.It will be held on the 1st
Wednesday of the month still but we are not sure where
yet.
